How my gambling life started.

[Slow death]

In my case, I started playing when I was a child, many years ago in my country there were no modern cell phones, few people had cars, few people had TV, there was only one television channel that was from the government and it kept putting out false information. for government, so as we didn't have technology, we had to have fun in other ways, that's why we played football and bet on teams, we also played cards and put money in, there were many traditional games from my country where we put money in when we played, in that At the time I didn't even know that when we did it like that it became gambling, it gets strange when today I remember the past

This is because today people are easily affected emotionally, in a short time we see a large number of people addicted to gambling, something that in the past was very difficult for me to see, I don't know if it was because in the past we didn't have access to phones and computers with internet and we didn't have many TV channels so we didn't see news about people who were addicted, maybe that's the reason. But I still think that today's generation are very psychologically fragile people who cannot handle pressure and suffering. Whenever I remember the past, the times when we made bets like that, I laugh to myself

In years past before the casino and other online gambling bet platforms was discovered and brought to our knowledge, I and some family relatives used to play the card games but on the sequence some of us were becoming unserious in the game that it wasn't competitive so, we decided to have stakes with little amount of cents of $ which we could afford to loose just to buckle and cheers everyone up.
Time goes where we increases the stakes to make us more serious to the extend we began to bet about $1 which we can afford to loose at other expenditures but it seems unbearable loosing it on the caused of betting.
On a serious note, we saw this as a mere bet of competitions and not as gambling. As we advances, we saw it as a domestic gambling and not as the wild gambling that could cause one emotional outbreaks.

Time goes that it becomes unusual that we began to feel offenced and rebelled that we as relatives(1 family) are extorting from each other without empathy for one another and then, we unconciously grew wild developing in sentiments, greeds and taking it as an avenue to make profits.
Alongside, it was more of serious business than the just fun.

Then the casino and other online bet platforms was introduced in time. This was how I was exposed and my begining of gambling life!

For me it was individual and none of my other family members both of when I was single and now that I am married does not gamble at all.My gambling life began many years ago when I was watching people going to lotto clubs,in the years early 2000 they were in the mood back then and I become curious about them.I started gambling in Champions League events of 2003,I still remember it was Real vs Juventus in group stage and I bet one time for Real playing away and one time for Juventus playing away,both times to lose my bets,that is how I started,I continued to bet on weekends for a long time until I started slot machines which I play still to date.

There is no family involved in gambling in the past if there is then the parents will definitely prohibit it maybe because of different thoughts then I do not have the experience of gambling with family, but to play bets with friends maybe it often starts from cards and other bets.

We often hear about family quarrels because someone is involved in gambling because they feel upset about losing to their siblings they can antagonize each other but this has never been an experience, because I really don't want to experience it.

When online gambling took off, I became a quiet person, meaning that I never talked about gambling too much even though I was very active in online casinos.

Hmm this is different from how I got exposed to gambling. For me it was all about my family, and believe growing up in the street ghetto and having siblings that and cousins that are crazy, sometimes I wonder what has kept me in check when it comes to my social life because alot of persons I know are now chronic gambling and even drug addict but that's why they say if anyone changes it depends to some level on the actual person thinking and mentality. I was exposed officially to gambling during the days of my schooling although am familiar like yourself about the card and all other physical gambling but the gambling house just made it more extreme and many like myself couldn't survive the pressure and turned addicts to the act and till date I know of a few that are still fighting this habit.

See how gambling affects people who don't have control over themselves. Notice how it started as a fun game for the relatives until it became more serious because of the money involved. I don't want to brag, but in my family we know some gambling games such as majong, tong its, black jack, etc. More on card games, but why do we still enjoy them if we have gatherings? Simply because we can control ourselves and the relationship between the family, we rarely put a large amount of money in the pool, and sometimes we are not staking any money just for fun; in short, a well-balanced relationship even when money and gambling are related. I guess what OP experienced is that members of the family start to feel the feeling of greed as it is unavoidable. Conflict over the money with family members is not new, even in gambling matters.

I want to understand which way gambling is affecting or will affect someone and there are ways that yes I know they have suffered financially just because they gave too much attention to gambling and I feel like this whole thing depends on the person's personality and gambling does not fit some people and that is why they are having issues with it, and if am gambling with my money I don't see the reason why I would be having issues with my relatives about my gambling habits since am not collecting money from anyone and when bet it will be in my own house so they don't even know if am gambling or not, all that money can not be for fun alone but to also make money and sometimes the only fun I see is when I make money, and if my family members should request for money from me and my bet is on I can confidently, tell them about the money am expecting and if I lose we go again that is gambling for you.

I was exposed to gambling when I was a little kid.  People in my community often play cards outside their houses and along the alley.  Aside from cards flipping coins are also popular in my place. And I started my gambling experience not with real money but with toys as the wagering unit.  Even bottle caps, rubber bands, cards, and anything that was the interest of that time was used for wagering.  I often participate in that kind of gambling activity because it is fulfilling to beat other kids and own their stuff.  From there I started participating in gambling where the real money is used and then fast-forward, to playing in an online casino.

Starting to gamble with very small bet amounts and then increasing the bet amount is unfortunately the first indicator of gambling addiction because it indicates that the person has the ambition to win more. If gambling isn’t done very often this will not be a problem but if the continuity of gambling with high bet amounts is observed this will fully shows gambling addiction. Therefore, I will recommend that you change your gambling habits, gamble less and if possible reduce your betting amounts to a minimum. Remember, discipline and self-control are the only methods to overcome gambling addiction.

That's right, big or small bets made can also trigger addiction, each person has their own portion of nature, including feelings of dissatisfaction or greed, by gambling and winning at gambling, it can cause greed to appear so they want to win. bigger win. Gambling frequently is not a good action because it can drain our finances quickly. especially with the fact that gambling has a greater chance of losing than the chance of winning.

In my opinion, someone who gambles certainly won't be able to easily get rid of their gambling habit, especially if they can be said to be addicted to gambling, it's possible that this is very difficult,  but it can be minimized by, as you said, reducing gambling activities by limiting the time they gamble frequently. can minimize major losses that occur.

Mine is quite different. I was introduced to gambling by a friend who was always gambling but I didn`t pick interest because to me he was wasting so much money on an unproductive activity he was lucky to win $30000 with a stake of $500 and that was how my journey began. Immediately my mentality about sports betting changed when I saw evidence that someone can win from betting. I told him to show me how to bet and also some websites where I could get some expert picks because I was a novice then and I needed that information. Since then I have gambled to date. My journey so far has been to laugh and cry, smile and frown, happy and sad, win and lose. Well, I am enjoying gambling. Arsenal gave me some bucks today haha.

I got to know gambling and entered the world of gambling recently, which is more than two years old. Because where I live, the social environment of the people is very opposed to all types of gambling practices, and gambling is seen as very bad by them. But after I moved from my hometown and decided to live independently outside the city, that's where I discovered gambling and playing until now. And so far the gambling I have done has gone well without causing any serious risks or negative impacts. Even though in some gambling sessions my emotions were a little out of control, I could handle all of that well. And until now I have never had a win that could be said to be big enough, but that is not what makes me persist in gambling and the only reason I am still gambling to this day is because it is fun.

[bitvalak]

What you experienced as a child is almost what many people experience. Initially, you gamble with a small nominal amount to have fun, then after you feel addicted, you will move up to the level of betting where the nominal value is of course very large.
It's all because of money, people will be offensive to each other for money. That's an indisputable fact. Even one family will fight to get the victory they want. Luckily, online casino platforms are very rarely able to bring us together with relatives, most of them will meet random users from various parts of the world.

Many factors cause someone to decide to enter the world of gambling and bet in it. Whether it's because of the pursuit of profit, feeling bored and having no challenges so they plunge into the world of gambling to look for a sensation that can stimulate their adrenaline, whether because someone often feels stressed so they seek pleasure by gambling, or for other reasons. But whatever is your reason for entering the world of gambling, it is important to realize and remember that gambling is not a place to make a profit or a place that can relieve the stress you are feeling. Because gambling has a fairly high level of risk of experiencing losses, it is safe to say that if the gambling you do only results in a loss, then this will make you even more stressed and even create depression.

So it's a good idea for you to think that gambling is just a form of entertainment, and is played for fun. And to guarantee that the gambling we do will not cause significant risks or other negative impacts. So continue to try to control your gambling activities as best as possible.

The side effects of gambling over a long period of time are influenced by the mental and psychology of each person.

When it comes to personal matters, this is definitely very difficult, because character is more difficult to predict and see. This will appear by itself.

In my opinion, things that need to be avoided at family gatherings are drinking alcohol together and gambling together.

[Lorence.xD]

On my end, I fully understand the concept of gambling during middle school but I think I experienced gambling unconsciously when I was younger. Unconscious that it was gambling already, but aware that I am doing things for either a reward or consequence. At my province, I tend to engage with spider fighting activities. It is a fight between you and your opponent's spider. The winner would either take the losing spider if it is still alive or will just be given another spider from opponent's if the one fought will be eaten by mine. It is for me a gambling given that there are two contrasting sides and that there is a consequence with the outcome, and of course risk of losing something on my end. Those things simply characterizes gambling however, things are in the form of money considering amounts,  which creates a difference. I do believe that there are other instances aside from what I have mentioned. Another is rock, paper, and scissors especially if you'd gain from winning. We might have different stories of how we ended up being here in this industry but still, we do engage with the same thing but in different forms.

Low income + greed = recipe for a disaster

While people who have good income gamble for fun, people who have low income play to make money. It is the same with the other bad habits too when you think about it. Rich people don’t get drunk usually. They drink only on special occasions and only enough to get a taste while poor people drink till their belly burst, pass out, roll on the floor, vomit. You often don’t see rich people do that crap.

Well, in the beginning everyone had expectations of being the winners of the competitions among the family's members, so it was all fun, excitement and enjoyment, but as the competitions went further, and probably some started losing more than others, it stopped being entertaining to become frustrating, and with frustration comes wildness, revolt, resentment, until reaching to the extreme level of accusing each other of extortion! What sounds really absurd to me, since you were betting only few cents in common agreement which wouldn't prejudice anyone's financial lives in the end...

But people were so pissed off for losing that they were already going out of their minds!

Then the casino and other online bet platforms was introduced in time. This was how I was exposed and my begining of gambling life!

Glad online casinos have come in time to prevent the collapse of your family. Because that is what was going to happen, if you continued gambling among yourselves like that... You were gambling innocuous cents of dollar, now imagine what would have happened if you were gambling more volumous sums of money.

A complete tragedy!

[Adbitco]

Any form of gambling you might have seen today has been in existence for as creation of Man, in fact gambling begins from the very much day man created into this earth and hence, they started gambling then there was no online casino rather than a traditional methods of gambling, after some years it was then modernized but yet not everyone can freely bets since there wasn't a circulation of mobile phone on like now.

People were going to a local shop to bet after they go with their betting slip, along the line it was then modernized again where it is now friendly to everyone to gamble at their leisure time. In summary, what you said has already been existence but just that you weren't that opportune to use that facility at when necessary maybe due to our world since we lived in the third world country so many things could be restricted to us.

Maybe let's just say that I learned to gamble here in crypto gambling because of envy. Because I read a lot in the gambling discussion that talks about how they won a large amount of money gambling, and because I often end up like that in the gambling sections, I had a question: maybe it feels good to win a large amount of money gambling?

It was with that question that everything started, which is why I stumbled into crypto gambling. Then, I started to sign up at a crypto casino here that is still active, and I still play when I have extra money.

Gambling is legal in our country I can see so many lotto betting stations and there's a last two digits in a basketball game where you can predict the last two digits of the final score of a basketball game, it's a small-time betting and participants are usually in the same neighborhood, this is how I learn to bet because the operator or the one holding the two-digit card allow even youngster to bet, as this is only in our neighborhood.
It's easy for the youngster to learn how to gamble if gambling is legal in their area, if they are not properly guided they will grow up relying in gambling.

When the gambling was legal in your country,the gamblers can play the gambling without using the VPN.Many gamblers using the vpn which is against the rule for the gambling site because the gambling was against their government rules.The gamblers started their game in the gambling mostly because of their friends or relatives influence to the gambling.The game in gambling should be played without any addiction.

The addiction in the gambling site was caused mostly because of the continuous loss.The gamblers get motivated to recover the gambling loss,but the fact is the gambling loss can be recovered only after the gambler get more experience in the gambling site.

We all have a unique story about how our gambling life all started, of which I'm sure it may not be far from yours, because inasmuch as we were staking an item worth valuable for money, there is no other phrase it could be called rather than gambling, but the only difference, it involved we staking an amount we could always afford to lose, unlike now that people tend to gamble a major portion of their asset with the mindset of getting it back
